How To Install Coilovers | Toyota Supra MKIV

- In this video I walk you through how to remove your stock struts, and replace them with aftermarket coilovers.
I take you through every step of both front and rear, so the video is a little bit longer than usual.

Thanks for the video! I followed this as a guide to do my suspension on my '96 TT car. Three things that I ran into that might help people following this:
1) If you unbolt the sway bar, the assembly will drop down low enough so you can avoid using spring compressors on the OEM strut.
2) On my car's JDM passenger side (US driver side) there is the washer fluid tank sitting in the way of the upper control arm bolt from moving forward. The tank needs a bolt removed and swung out of the way.
3) I'd suggest using a torque wrench and tightening all the bolts to spec (with a jack on the suspension simulating load). These may not be 100% correct (off memory), so please do your research:
-Shock to control arm (front & rear): 101 lf/lb
-Large upper control arm bolt: 130lf/lb
-Sway bar: 56 lf/lb
-Upper strut (in engine bay and rear in-car): 36 lf/lb
Awesome! Thank you for the additional info!
Adam Coleman hey mate I just saw the washer bottle on my passenger side and I stopped , how hard to take the bottle off . How many bolts ? I did my rear pretty easy.
Cheers
Thanks for this video, It was sooo useful when I swapped my stock KYB's for some Bilstein's! I would have definitely taken more out than I needed to if it wasn't for your video!
Awesome!! We are glad it helped out!! :)
18:35 jumpscare warning i jumped a bit when the dog barked XD
Tom 😂😂😂 I did too when I was editing the video!
this vid really helped me put my stock shocks back on (cuz coilovers SUCK for ride quality). just one thing.... that 'just slide that pin back in'.... nope. 10 minutes to replace the shock.... 30 to find the hole :) thanks for the video. it was fantastic.
go the other side done. my stock washer fluid reservoir got in the way and it was a serious PITA.... it did not pop out as easily as yours did. But again.. thanks for the video. coudln't have done without it.
Phat Bassturd lol sorry it didn’t work as smoothly, but I am glad the video helped you along 👌🏼😃
You can tell the coil tension tool did the job but man I freaked when you took it out and pointed it straight to your face..
Gotta keep it exciting! 💪🏼
I bthank you very very much Now That I was able to see how to do the job I feel secure enough to put my nice new coilovers on my twin turbo Supra. Thank you a thousand times!!
stephenmr2 of course!! We are glad it helped!!
Thats why i love "older" cars. You just need some tools to DIY! Nowadys cars,you need a SWAT Team to do it ^^
Boostin Audi S2 lmao! it's so true! older cars are so cut and dry, I love it!
Boostin Audi S2 you sound like Scotty Kilmer lol
Dude, bring on them uploads! Your videos are fkin awesome
ItsMichaelNilsson24 thank you! more is coming don't worry! We got busy with our wedding and honeymoon!
We Riide Alright nice! A huge congratulations to you both!!!
Awesome video man! I’m about to do mine this weekend! Thanks a ton for posting this, I’m super excited to get it done 🔥🔥
Thank you! I appreciate that! Good luck on the install! let us know how it goes!
We Riide it went well man! HKS Hipermax all done, it went pretty smooth, your video helped a ton. You’re a beast though, definitely could not have done it solo like you did. Thanks again!
@@THISisRACE That's awesome!! I have always wanted to switch over to the Hipermax, how do you like them??
We Riide they’re WAY better than the crap I had on there, I always thought I had an OEM suspension till last week when I changed them. I left them at the settings they came with and they’re awesome. Ride height is perfect and they’re really really smooth (they come set at 50% on the dampening). I’d definitely like to compare them to other stuff for reference but the supra guys I know seem to really like them! Hipermax has my vote now!
@@THISisRACE Yeah it seems like the supra community is very partial to the Hipermax setup. I'm glad you like them, but now I am jealous haha!!
Good video, going to install my coils next week
Thank you mate , you saved my money
Fast Lion no worries!! We are glad the video helped!
I done mine couple years ago brought back memories lol. Pretty straight forward kinda a pain in the butt for me since my car was a virgin never been touch.
CamBo_SouP 96 lol it was nice that ours had recently been molested so everything was easily taken out 😂
Great DIY video Jared. About to my coilover also. Thank you. 👍
vangsti559 awesome!! Let me know how it turns out!!
Thanks for the DIY video. I'm going to install some HKS coilovers on my soup this weekend.
Lucky! I love the HKS coilovers for these cars! So well built! Let us know how it goes!
We Riide just pulled out the left front, and the windshield wiper fluid reservoir is in the way, made it difficult to pull out the long control arm bolt.
lol I lucked out and didn't run into that! I'm glad it didn't stop you though, did you have to unbolt it and move it?
We Riide mines a 97 the reservoir might be bigger, idk. I just loosened up the bolts on the reservoir and was able to move it just enough to remove the Long Bolt.
Perfect haha! Always have to improvise along the way
please make more supra mod vids :) subcribed
GeeKayRock I am on it! lots to come!!
Wow great video thank you for taking the time and posting this. I subscribed and can’t wait to learn more from you.
Awesome! Thanks for the support!
Another nice DIY. I have he CTS-V BBK I have to put on mine. But I think I'll do it over winter since I dropped a little too much $$$$ on the engine this year!! Good work Jarrod!!! Keep it and congrats by the way!!!
RICR0LD thanks man! haha I hear ya on the $$$ this supra business is pricey 😂😂 you gotta show me the brakes when you get them on! I'm debating on a few kits!
We Riide for sure. I know I have the last CTS-V bracket setup out there. There were only 5 made.
lucky! How did you get your hands on that!?
I know one of the guys that made the original 5 sets. He hooked me up back in December. I know quite a few people do the SRT8 upgrade for about 8-900$.
Great Supra content. Keep up the good work!
Nice and informative DIY video. Make more videos like this :)
Frode Hagen thank you! I appreciate that!
Thank you so much. I have supra mk3 and the the system of installer is similar. You really helped. Hello from Rome ! good luck
ROOOME!Thats awesome! Thanks for the comment! Feeling the love world wide!
Awesome Video, thank you for your time 👊
Thank you! I appreciate that! Any time!
Great vid bro can you do power steering fluid flush and transmission flush next?
mremm04 I will see what we can do for sure! We have a couple projects coming up that might require that ;)
Excellent video brother!
7THxSIGN thank you thank you!!
It's easier to pry down the wishbones by putting a pipe on wheel bolt and then pushing it down. Way more leverage
That's a good idea! Definitely using that next time! Thank you!!
Would you happen to know the torque specs for all bolts front and rear including the top coil ones? Thanks!
no need to compressor the spring. stick a long pry bar on the lower control arm and pry down to make room for the strut
hellraizer06 haha thank you! found out the time consuming way that I didn't need them 😂😂
Hellraizer06, isn't that your handle on the Supra forums?
Great video, good information. Thanks
No problem!! Thanks for the support!
Can I skip the tool rental to do the rear coils? Please let me know.
Thanks.
Sorry for the late response. Yes, you can actually, just be careful
thanks for this man!
No problem!! Hopefully it helped!
Friend of mine has an 87 Supra he wants me to do struts on, is this the same setup?
Andork Kuomo pretty much identical, the fronts will be a little easier since the reservoir won’t be in the way, and the rear is a little trickier to get to the top hat with bracing in the way, but still pretty cut and dry :)
Will coil overs from a supra fit a 94 gs300 1st gen
What brand are those coilovers? Having trouble finding ones that are guaranteed to fit my '95.
These are the old school Megan Coilovers. Back when they had a little bit better quality mfg for the supra set. What brand are you looking for? We could try to source a set for you!
Do you absolutely have to remove the wheels I feel like you can work around it
Loosen the sway bar. Good video.
Scotty Collins thank you! so loosen it instead of prying down so hard?
I've seen this done before at my buddy's shop. He just took both ends of of the sway bar loose. Took the nuts completely off. Then he did both sides before reconnecting the sway bar
Sweet! Thanks for the advice! I will have to try that next time for sure!
You are doing good stuff. Need to get those subscriber numbers up!
Nice video. Ive replaced rears on mine at different times as they started leaking. First time I got the shocker out without the spring compressor, just about. Had to really push down on the hub. Was awkward as I didn't have enough hands to push down and lift shocker out. When the other side went I used a spring compressor, it gave me just abit more room to get it out without straining to much. Can be done either way but I found with the compressor it made it easier. What kind of ride height are you running? Is the front lower than the rear? Would really like some adjustable coilovers. Did it take a while to get ride height right?
Yeah the compressor seemed to help it come out easier, or at least gave me a little more room. I was running pretty low with the 18" wheels that were on the car, but now that we have put the 19" wheels on we had to raise all 4 corners up about 1/2 an inch. The rears were always riding a little higher than the front. But adjusting them to the right height actually wasn't too bad. Put the car all the way down, measured how much I wanted to adjust up or down, lift it back up and use the spanner wrenches to adjust that amount and you are basically done. Just make sure you measure exactly how much you want to adjust :)
Thanks for the video man just have two ?. What coilovers are you running. and how do you like them.
Got the old school Megans, when they were built a little better. I love them! People hate on them for being cheap, but you would be surprised with the old models how well they were made and how well they perform!
Would you sell your old setup?
Already sold :( sorry!!
What’s going on man nice supra.. 👌 And I’m going to order some coilovers for my 94, and just wanted your opinion on what kind I should get?
Honestly, Amanda is using the Tein on hers, and for a very affordable setup, they work REALLY well! Otherwise the Old school Megans(not their new ones), KW, Fortune, HKS or Cusco are the ones I've had experience with and have loved all of them! You can't go wrong with those. Other brands I don't have much personal experience so I couldn't speak on those much :/ Have you found any you like?
We Riide . I’m thinking maybe the tein, I don’t want to go to crazy and spend to much on them, there’s a lot of things I’m planning to do. And you guys have given me extra motivation to do a variety of things after seeing your videos. Both of u have Amazing Supras you guys have done a really good job with them. Keep up the gd work
We Riide . So I’m thinking about adding some power, have u ever heard of the GT28 hybrid turbo? I have the stock TwinTurbo‘s, And i also have an automatic. So far I have exhaust, HKS intake and a HKS boost controller. Any advice on what I can do to add some Horsepower? I know it’s late so whenever you get a chance I would appreciate it.
Thank you! We Appreciate that! Yeah Teins are perfect and give extra room for more parts!
Using teins flex z cheap and its works wonders. It's a dual tube so it isn't as good as the bf which has a monotube design. the flex z is more daily and comfort the br are more race.
Hint; Go get a friend to help :P I did made shit easier when one puts weight down and the other takes things out for the front!
lol definitely would have helped!
so what are your thoughts on bagging it? would you do it to your car?
Cosmick Flames honestly, the aired out look isn't my style, but I have nothing bad to say about it. in fact, I was sooo close to buying Fortunes new air piston coilovers! what I liked about those is you are riding on their 500 series coilovers, but if you needed to go up a curb bump or dip, they raise you up 2 inches. so they only raise up, then back down on the coilovers :) they won't slam you down on your frame. I do have a couple friends that LOVE bags though!
yeah that is true they would be really nice and some of the looks aren't exactly the best but it also depends on location as in your general area and how bad the rode is
The roads are terrible here!! We need to move to a more car friendly state! Both roads and weather haha!
We Riide haha that may prove to be a little bit of knowing but where I live we have bipolar weather and well some roads are better than the next one but we have pretty bad roads here too
Where are you at? Bipolar weather sounds like Utah, I need to know so I can avoid that state hahaha!
when i saw the nos bottle i was like holy shit clyde is running nos then i realized it was a fake plushie nos bottle
Tom lmao! 😂😂 I love that pillow! comes in handy for long cruises! and you can barely see it through the back window so I have a lot of people freaking out that I put Nitrous on Clyde 😎😎
where did you buy it? id love to get one one day
Tom Amazon!! another one of our addictions haha!
nice ill look for it there haha also you said that you might be getting a bigger brake caliper for the front and the back what are you gonna do with the brake calipers with the supra logo on them?
Tom still debating if I want to hold on to them with the rest of my oem parts I am hoarding, or if I should sell them. i know they fetch a pretty penny these days :/ dilemma lol
What brand did you end up going with?
Liam Griffin they are actually the old school Megans, so they are built well. the new ones I've heard aren't as good, but these things are amazing, don't knock them because of their affordability. The shop I bought our 97 from sold an r35 with Megan's on it, the guy that bought it said he was disgusted that they had Megan's so he had the shop change them out to an expensive brand, 2 weeks later the gtr owner came back and asked for the Megan's to be put back on 😂😂 but that is the old model, I can't speak for the new ones:)
Yeah the old ones are great, but super hard to find. I just ordered a set of Tein Flex Z's and they should arrive soon.
Liam Griffin I have heard nothing but good reviews on those flex z coilovers! I actually just had 2 customers get those from me. a Subaru guy and a supra, both love them!
wait are you getting married
Takumi Fujiwara Yes we are! June 17 😊
man great news even better than that is the fact that im getting a na supra tomorrow
